Read the news today? The Patriarchs of Constantinople and Russia have split over the problem of Ukraine. Looks like Malachi Martin who read the 3rd Secret of Fatima is coming to fruition, that the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart will start in Kiev, Ukraine.

I pray that greater Church unity comes out of this, but I am not as optimistic as you are.
 
So I was reading Ezekiel, and while there is a lot that can jump at you, I thought verse 22:26 is particularly applicable to recent Church events:
Her priests violate my law and desecrate what I consider holy; they do not distinguish between holy and common, nor teach the difference between unclean and clean; they pay no attention to my sabbaths, so that I have been desecrated in their midst.

Is there any Catholic tradition of the day-year principle? (ie where a day symbolically means a year in certain prophecies?)

I figured this thread would be a good place for this question.

I’m not aware of any tradition for or against it. I believe it is simply considered part of Christian teaching, given 2 Peter 3:8:
But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day.

There is another place in Scripture where this is laid out, and that is in Ezekiel 4:4-8, where G_D specifically says that one day of the symbolic prophecy will equal one year.
 
17 is definitely something I resonate with. It’s more hope than I’ve had in a long time:pray:💕🙏🙌🙏

Meant to comment on this a few days ago. Simply put, the Moscow Patriarchate has ego problems. The Moscow Patriarchate came about because when it became clear that Constantinople was going to fall to Islam, the Patriarch of Constantinople and its Holy Synod declared Moscow to be a separate, co-equal patriarchate. The Tsar at the time declared that “Moscow is the 3rd Rome; there will not be a 4th.” Moscow considers itself the last true bastion of Orthodox Christianity and in a sense seeks to destroy those that dispute that.

There was a problem a few years back when the Orthodox church of one of the Baltic countries was re-organizing after the fall of the Soviet Union. Because they had been invaded and suppressed by the USSR they had elected to align themselves with the Greek Orthodox Church in Constantinople. All of the other Orthodox churches in the region were OK with that, until Moscow joined the conversation. They effectively preached hell and damnation for anyone who sought to break the “historic ties” between those Churches and the Moscow Patriarchate. (The “historic ties” were the ties that existed before the rise of the USSR.) Not sure what became of those meetings; but Moscow has claimed primacy over the Ukrainian Orthodox Church for centuries, even though it has closer ties, historically and culturally, with Constantinople.

The Greek Orthodox Church is dying. Turkey has “temporarily closed” the only Orthodox seminary in Turkey, meaning there is no real place for Greek Orthodox in Turkey to study and be ordained. In addition, the Turkish government has put conditions in place that will make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to elect a new Patriarch after the death of Patriarch Bartholomew. There is the very real possibility that the Patriarchate will simply cease to exist at that time. Moscow is looking ahead to that time to ensure that it will step into the vacuum by assuming control of all of these Churches before the Patriarch of Constantinople dies.
 
Muzhik, this is all so beautiful and uplifting.
God bless you for sharing.
 
Those icons, et. al., are (name removed by moderator)'s doing.

And yes, they are beautiful. I love Eastern iconography.
 
Oh I see now. Thanks (name removed by moderator).
After shopping around I am wondering if I can make a scapular like that for my home.
I think we are due for a chastisement and that prayer and protection is a blessing.
My home icon is Our Lady of Vladimir.

HTLV-1 is an ancient virus that is showing up all over the world. A recent increase was detected in Australia. Besides neurological damage it is a gateway to cancer. It is dubbed the cousin of HIV because of similar genetic material.

Scientists rely on virus sample sharing to assess risk and produce potent vaccines. The US trade war with China now extends to withholding virus samples. China is currently withholding samples of an evolving highly pathogenic strain of influenza.
T.S. Eliot famously wrote that the world would end with a whimper rather than a bang, but a cough might be the likelier scenario.

Hi Donkey, I bought the wool felt needed to make this. I believe I found the requirements online
 
Yes, I found beautiful thick wool, embroidery floss and trim in the correct colors. I will use the wonders of my computer and printer to make the images. This labor of love is more meaningful than simply buying a ready made scapular although some look very nice. Mine will be larger and strictly for my home.
 
We should “occupy till He comes(again)” and not
be dropping everything and going around like head-
less chickens like every non-believer at the signs and
wonders happening in the world and heavens. We
are cautioned to “not be weighed down” w/ the things
of this world(Lk. 21:34)
 
When Jesus said 'you do not know the day or the hour ’ that was a reference which his hearers would have associated with ’ the Day of Trumpets '.
The Day of Trumpets ws known as " the feast that no man knows the day or hour of " or
" the Hidden Feast " By 'day and hour ’ it may follow the 29th or 30h , depending on whether the moon is sighted on the 29th or not. By ’ Day and Hour ’ Jesus was inferring ’ The Day of Trumpets ’ The year is all important and the Bible does not indicate which year.
The Abomination of Desolation starts the Great Tribulation when Jesus warns his followers to 'flee to the mountains, and to not return home to take their cloak or anything else ’
In Malachi 4:5 says " Behold I wll send you Elijah before the great and dreadful Day of the Lord " In the gospels Jesus referred to John the Baptist as Elijah. Is it possible, in our times that the Elijah that God sends is His Mother to warn and prepare us ? Just a few random speculations …
 
No, I think Elijah will return. Remember, in 2 Kings 2 Elijah was “translated”, i.e., was taken to heaven by a fiery chariot. Elijah did not die, but was taken up to heaven. So he would not need a new physical body to return to earth.
